Why Is Tekken Tag 2 Disliked? 

Various pundits like Aris also hated it

Casual people likes It, but some other casual ppl not coz they say Its not a fight cause of the fact u can bitch run and change to the character with more life, other than. That Its hated because of the damage of combos , and tournaments were Boring asf cause It was a lets see Who whiffs first

TheFatalitiesTV I loved the game!

No really lot of people hate it for some reason. I was on a forum talking about how to port TTT2 on PS4 and half the comments were like "Why would you want TTT2 the game is a broken mess"

@@rossmanmagnus It is in PS4 and is garbage. The one thing that makes it a garbage port are the controls. They are unresponsive. People love the game because of the roster, but never talks about the gameplay because everyone knows how broken that game is. At least in Tekken 7 with the whole Leroy being broken. That's just part of his character, because he's all about giving you that work. Tag 2, no excuse.

Some of us migrated back to T6, which still had a decent community. I myself found many opponents with good connections in ranked who knew their stuff.

Callestere It dis have the thing most Tekken gamea never had. . . . . . . . . a tutorial for beginners. May not have been the best for competitive play, but a tutorial non the less.

But hey, at least they finally got the little blue flashing ,"punnish", icon to flash whenever you got a punish. To be honest, I have no idea why they didnt implement this much much much much earlier. Punishment is extremely important in this game. I cant believe it took until TTT2 for Harada to throw us that bone.

Solo mode though.

Tekken Revolution was a guilty pleasure. I couldn't get into TTT2 but loved pwning noobs in Revolution.

Maybe they are the reason why i liked tekken 2 so much

2 Laws 2 fucking ling 2 lilis and much much more

It's slowww

Hopkick to bound for 75 percent damage 0.0

3 capos, 2 Xiaoyus, 2 Laws, and a partridge in a pear tree

If so, then I don't want a celebration game. I want a Tekken game with balanced gameplay. If you have so many characters with the special tag mechanic, it is impossible to balance it. Balancing is much more important then having more characters

Super Smash Bros Ultimate: Hold my gamecube controller

NameMag tekken 7 is a watered down electric farts as BGM t6 minus the charisma and the great story and the looks the characters had

@@lesleyblackvelvet5802 smash is not balanced at all, it's probably the most tier list heavy game of the entire genre right now

@@Strife1425 Tekken 7 is most balanced and fun to play Tekken ever.

Tekken 5 Dr is the best according to a lot of people.

@@RizzerixLP Many people would say it's Tekken 3 (my fav would be Tekken 6)

@@waserdert6259 I'm talking about the gameplay. Yeah it terms of overall package and impact on the series T3 was a gem, but the most polished and skilled gameplay has T5 Dr imo. T6 started to introduce a lot of easy bullshit mechanics, which only got worse in Tag 2 and T7. I still like T6 though.

@@waserdert6259 TK3 is the game changing for the franchise, the one that boost the popularity of TK. TK5 DR is the people choice for all aspect

@@RizzerixLP I heard that Tekken 3 is the greatest because it is the one that brought many people to into the Tekken series. Then Tekken 5 then Tekken Tag 2.

Absolutely agreed. 🤝

right to the point.

Agreed

I always disliked how modern games started having DLC of content that should have been there from the start. But when I see someone literally complain about "hur durr too much content,game is bad" I cant even blame then.

@@Marko-ij4vy DLC will always be a scam. Good old expansion 2-3 years after the release is the only acceptable model

People are fucking stupid.

But wait there's more! The best part is people defending microtransactions for costumes that were free in Tekken 7 LOL.

@@Sol-De-Invierno The problem with that is you risk the game dying down too much before that period ends, leaving few interested in the expansion.

Tekken Revolution was enjoyable, but it's vaporware. That shit is gone. I put alot of work into that one for nothing. Thanks Bamco.

The only fighting game i had on ps3 for a long time. I really enjoyed it though.

@@TexasHollowEarth personally a good warm up for Tekken 7 at the time so I wasn't really bumped by it

Revolution is not exist anymore So the worst game in the franchise is prime edition on 3ds

There's a lot of hate for T8 after launch because Bamco decided to add microtransactions and Fight Passes.

Jun is coming back in Tekken 7, so that's nothing.

Blazen Powers where did you get this info?

@@perhaps9460 It's in the code of Tekken 7. It doesn't shows the full name. It shows three letters in their names. BEA = Beak, BRU = Bruce, CHR = Christie, JUN = Jun Kazama, KNM = Kunimitsu, and a couple more. I wish I was making this up.

Blazen Powers Hey, listen, Homeboy! If you are wrong about Mama Kazama being added to T7, I will hire a posse of raccoons to raid your garbage cans every night, for the next 7 years.

@@skillustrates Julia and the other characters that was in season 2 except Negan were inside the data of Tekken 7. See it for yourself and then we'll talk.

Can't wait for TTT3 in 2033!

It was more or less because the clones felt so lazy. Almost no move differences and the worse part was that they made most players lazy. Why should I learn another character bro i got double changs, laws etc. Not to mention double clone character teams did massive damage -_-

I would prefer a roster between 20-30 characters that felt distinct and memorable over loads of clones and nonsense.

@@MetalxSoldier Yes, but playing a clone team also kind of came with disadvantages as well. Playing with 2 different characters means your opponent has to deal with 2 different match ups, which is definitely more complicated.

Except Tekken has these cancer characters that rely on matchup knowledge. Characters that require you sit down and lab them. Have good fundamentals? Doesn't matter if you don't know what moves are safe. Defense in Tekken requires much more memorization than offense. Absolutely not fun. Even in T7 it's kinda annoying how much lab work you have to do. And Tag2 only made it worse with its huge roster

Gg Master Guilty Gear Depends on how different they make each fighter from their clone, Kunimitsu for example.

They were ok but high school love was my favorite to jam out and 2 others

YESSS!!!

Tekken 6 Never ending sounds pretty dope

6 had some banger

@TheBestFighter karma was a thing

And is an all round better game

yeah it takes skill to play and the movement is better unlike t7 😒

Lol y’all sound like scrubs

Ikr, TTT2 is much better

Scubbasteave Because we prefer a game that requires more skill than T7, Tag 2 don’t have Rage arts or drives so it’s all about guessing unless you was weak in that game

Hayrettin Resit Kayacan it never had death combos unless side walls dude

Can pull of death combos with out wall. Just add the rage damage. Timed perfectly.

true

Mag Movies i agree man. As a whole package, i like tekken tag 2 a whole lot more. The usual tekken gameplay got a new twist with the tag gimmick present and it is interesting. There's a whole lot more singleplayer content modes and lots of characters. So yeah, i lovd this game

TTT2 is my favorite tekken can’t wait for TTT3

I like you

Most of my friends say why should i buy ps3 when i can buy the newest ps4? Well, TTT2 is the reason behind.

The content Tag 2 has makes Tekken 7 look like a 10 dollar game. 7 has the better gameplay, but that's it.

Michael K M wouldn't say better gameplay not enough you can do everyone fights the same

blank blank You’d have to be playing casually to think everyone fights the same even the Mishimas who have similar move set/play styles you have to approach differently if you want to be good at them

LaserGuidedBomb Tekken 7 is undoubtably better and more balanced than TT2 in raw gameplay aspects, TT2 having all those features yet overall being received somewhat poorly is reason why Tekken 7 is somewhat barebones in overall content. How is tekken 7 not a 3D game? You have a few 2D characters but that’s about it, the legacy DLC can be seen as shitty especially when there’s Akuma and 2 bears but making characters costs money considering it’s already a large roster, a business isn’t gonna just lose money for no reason, it’s funny ppl constantly bring it up when only 2 of legacy actually get a lot of playing time and having guest characters attracts players that may otherwise not be interested in the tekken.

Do you remember "What's Going on in That Corner?" My personal favorite :v

probably season 3 is the last season for Tekken 7, or maybe 4 if the majority of our community request it

@@vaughnalexander31 the problem is that tekken 7 isn't made by namco but by the community. Everyone wants their shit and that's the result: dlc favouritism. The new characters are so casual friendly that they're almost broken

you want the truth or its cousin I've played the original Tekken 7 in the Arcade and I've felt the same feeling I did back in the days with Tekken 4 after a Tag Tournament 1 or 2 it's seems like NAMCO wanted a new generation of Tekken with a thin roster but When the game hit the consoles it became more catering to the EVO's of the worlds and the wannabe Pro Players with an Arcade Sticks and it turns in to Street Fighter IV all over again only different here the offline modes is 💩 there's nothing ... nothing comes close to Tekken 5 experience in my opinion Story mode is the classic Arcade ladder of 8 matches with rivals between them semi boss and final boss battle with an Ending to every character and then Tekken Bowl is *free, Devil Jin Mode, Survivor Mode, Time Attack, Team Battle, Customization Mode, unlocking Characters and so much more what ever happened to the original Tekken i still remember Harada when he said back in 2012 he would rather get fired than charge players for DLC whatever happened to that and so much more i can go on n on.

Well they confirmed a next tekken season soo

Even if that vision of 10 seasons plus does come to fruition, you would be learning new characters and new match ups slowly over time and one only need 1 v 1 variations. 1v1 Compared to 2v2 the match up possiblies and needed knowledge grew exponentially.

Exactly!!! Definitely agree

@Jesse Trapp So you prefer a broken mess, where skill is less required than luck??? Sounds like something a Call of Duty player would say. There is a reason why tekken 7 sold 7mio copies compared to ttt2 which sold less than 2mio copies

@@Amir_97 well you couldn't be more wrong I absolutely despise FPS's. Fighting games more fun for me when a rookie can pick it up and give me a good fight. I never said which tech and I prefer. I actually do prefer seven to tag. My comment was more based on the fact of don't whine and cry because you can't win every match. Don't whine and cry because you're 12-year-old brother picked up the stick and whooped your ass. That's what makes games fun.

@@Amir_97 as far as skill versus luck. I say your skills aren't that great if you can't change your strategy and beat somebody who's doing nothing but button mashing or pulling the same move off over and over and over. There's always a way to get around and beat it if you truly are that skilled. Let's also keep in mind that not every single video game is designed for pro level tournaments. Some are meant to allow for a balance between a truly skilled player and a rookie.

@@Amir_97retarded middle eastern You have it the other way around

Lol, making death combos is hard? It was easy af in Tag 2

Yeah, I finally got my PS3 to work again (had to erase everything) but I can't even play as Ancient Ogre anymore because the Store only has movies and music. Why the hell would they keep that but not Character Pack A? Fuck, I guess I'll just stick with Tekken 3 and Tag 1 to get my outdated Tekken fix. Lame as fuck. Capcom re releases Resident Evil 4 on literally every console ever and we can't even get a PS4 port when it was practically out at the same time as the PS4. There aren't many exclusive PS3 only games that I can't play, but this is one. If Ancient Ogre and Ogre were added to Tekken 7, I would have bought it a long time ago, I don't even really like the tag mechanic.

@@Goblin_Hands Tag 2 deserves a proper port so badly. The online is still plenty active. I hate having to dust off and boot up an entire console just to play this one game.

Laughs in tekken 7..lol..it has 50 characters as well..but the game is getting a $hit ton of love even though it has a lot of brain-dead characters..world is weird

@chickenalakingina Except basic matchups / characters are about as deep as a puddle in comparison to Tekken and the characters have less than 1/10 of the moves.

I agree. I look at TT2 as the anothogly game of the series with its huge roster. Has pretty much every character up to that point and then some extras.

Tekken 7 was ruined by the community, everyone wanted their piece of ass in the game and that's the result. Everyone complained like a bitch GAME TOO HARD AND COMPLEX we got a broken fucking leroy and cheap fahkumram. they went WE WANT THIS THIS AND THIS and they rebalanced the game so many fucking times to please the whiny bitches to the point that the game feels off, useless nerf and unnecessary buffs and moves changed or added to the point that you have to relearn the entire game again. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? if tekken 8 will be like this i'll be over with this game

Me too. I've been playing the series since Tekken 3; and ever since those games reaching all the way up to tag tournament 2, to me that was Tekken at it's best (if not the best game). Tekken 7 just doesn't reach up to that same level of hype that the other games had.

the fact that pros hate it goes to show just how frustrated they are in learning mechanics

I thought I was the only one that stopped playing Tekken after t7

@@deadpoolvega No you're not. A lot of hardcore old school players stopped after T7. That game might have been sold a lot, might be great for newbies but I am sorry if it has things like rage arts, drives and most importantly armors it's not real Tekken. Tekken has always been about speed, frame knowledge and all of that stuff, PERIOD. Unfortunately TTT2's poor selling numbers forced Harada to sell the Tekken saga out with a game that was going to be newbies friendly and therefore sell a lot. This is how we got T7. Everything would have been different if TTT2 would have sold decently. Unfortunately most of the market is made out of casual players, us hardcore old school fans are a minority

David Green Light Years better

Ok if its bettet then don’t complain about t7 I mean, you are free to play tt2 for the rest of your life xD

@@listubrtnrep9848 Tekken 7 consists of Harada being a troll in so many ways. TTT2 is just whether you are good or not.

Clones make sense in a tag game, especially clones from previously playable characters like Eddy/Christie, Kuma/Panda, and Xiaoyu/Miharu. The only clones that came out of nowhere were Slim Bob and Sebastian.

Absolutely correct. I also have friends who got pissed of at Tekken 7 and me either. Tekken 7 has nothing to do with skill whatsoever ,everyone is Prime in this game. The gameplay is the biggest dissapointment I ever seen. It is way too noob-friendly ,everyone who was shit in the previous games likes Tekken 7 now ,because they have a chance here. You can not play how you want the game basically ,tells you how to play. No one has his own Playstyle ,everyone plays the same. It's a Fact.

“Damn near the whole roster was orange and 2 reds” Thats a lot of TGP’s and 2 TGO’s

But Street Fighter did, USFIV had 44 characters and it is one of the most balanced fighting games ever.

Umut Yildirim That game still didn’t have the offline content Tag 2 had. Tag 2 was replayable because of the many varying tag combo combinations, the decals and hair in customization for matching your tag teams, the offline modes, the character endings, and so much more.

@@umutyildirim9928 2d. There's a huge difference between 2D and 3D fighting games in terms of balancing

@@umutyildirim9928 yeah but tag teams are also a variable here in terms of balance

I agree that the stages are lame, but I actually really like Tekken 7's sound track.

I like Tekken 7s Soundtrack as well, but it pales in comparison to the greatness that is TTT2s soundtrack. TTT2 soundtrack is GODTIER. It was my ringtone for months. I would wash dishes to TTT2 music, and it made me hype and feel like a BAWSE.😎😎😎

@Noning {三島} Pa̷r̷a͢dox͠ namco gets too comfortable trying to get cash, could be their downfall

I think they were developing another title at that time. Like pokken, summer lesson and soul calibur. Plus this is a new graphic engine

Ttt2 had a lot of money put into it and saw average returns as compared to T7. The former catered to more casual play and general fun (customizations, story e.t.c) while the latter caters more to e-sports and competitive play(balance and better mechanics). The tekken series has also garnered a much larger fan base than before thanks to T7 and its paradigm shift from TTT2 to make it more appealing towards newbies in approaching and learning the game while maintaining balance and viability as a competitive fighting game. T7 also runs on the new unreal engine and was released with 8 new characters(jack-7 and master raven not included) and missing popular normal characters on launch with more both new and old characters on the way. Add the fact of the lacklustre story mode and absence of game modes hints at the dev team being swamped with work and having difficulty keeping deadlines. Well, it also may mean that the dev team just chose to ignore all the trimmings and extras and just went all out on the meat of the game. Also the T7 soundtracks seem fine to me. TL;DR: All the money went into balancing, e-sport viability and increasing appeal to newcomers and other non-tekken fighting game enthusiasts which has made it the best selling tekken ever.

Looks at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's roster.

@Charbel Chahine you forgot 2 Rogers (Alex was kind of dope Imo), 2 Jacks, 2 Juns (though Unknown was kind of weird), 2 Devils (Angel and Devil Jin I presume), 2 Bobs and a slew of random characters that made little sense

The bears and the Kangaroo's/Dinosaur are really fun characters. I still don't get why people hate them for any other reason than salt.

Memorii Capo is Shorten For Capoeira, A Brazilian fighting style that Eddy and Christie uses in This game

Tekken Tag 2 has SOME balancing issues but honestly it's not nearly as unbalanced as some people like to say, it's still way more of a balanced game than SF V or a lot of other fighting games that I can think of.

but again... we're not talking about *other* fighting games.

Tag 2 had only ONE original costume per character by default. Bamco repeated this crap with Soul Calibur 6. The alternate costume was custom trash. The customization was NOWHERE near as robust as Tekken 6 & T6 had at least 2 genuine costumes per character.

yeah, it's annoying... tag 2 customization is a regression from 6, but the actual ITEMS to customize WITH in 6 were character specific (meaning it might not appeal to everyone's tastes) and sometimes very sparse (not to say the items in tag 2 were not sparse as well, but at least you (for the most part) consistently had an idea of what you could find for a character and could rely on it).

@@Shyuthrosnaevin i honestly like the charachter specific customization more, also why should i have to unlock them? Then what I'm supposed to do with my shitload of Money? same issue in Tekken 7

Me too

I feel like Jun would be suited more for Tekken 8 seeing that the next game will complete the Mishima Story Arc but let's see. Also, if there are many whiny fanboys/girls begging for Harada for Jun then we would have a slighter chance since he is getting irritated. All that aside, JUN IS FUCKING AWESOME 💓

tag2 is really good but people forget solo wasn't balanced if compared with tag team. solo damage is way too op. great game imo still.

@@MeelisMatt just dont be incompetent and dont do a TA on a solo player

I remember people sayig tag 2 was a rage fest but it wasnt a badly designed game not to mention the content difference makes t7 look like a 10 dollar game

Also I don't understand why people say it had such a large roster, if anything, it had way smaller roster than T7. Capo (3), Ling (2), Law(2), Lili(2), Roger(2) , Bears(2), Julia(2), Jack(2), Lee(2)... Now that is 10 duplicate characters. Tekken 7 has about 50 characters and most of them are unique. If anything, T7 requires more time to lab.

Haseeb Ali Regardless of if they’re clones or not they’re still characters in the game meaning that the game has a large roster. Also, im not talking about the lab time of the game, I’m talking about the roster itself.

@@nixuniverse5240 yes I get your point. Tag 2 imo was a great game, literally it excelled in everything compared to T7 other than balance, graphics and gameplay. TTT2 had better endings, better customization, better stages, better modes (team battle, replay theatre etc), better presentation. And I love the idea of Tag Team, tag assault combos just looked sick!

ttt2 is trashcan garbage

It is stupid. Tekken 7 has beat the count

Very true! Even with the high damage tag combos matches could last forever.

Yeah, you had 2 lifebars but you only had to K.O one character instead of the whole team. Imagine how the meta would change in DBZF or Skullgirls if you had only to KO one character to win instead of the whole team

@@MrOzzification Yep I commented on that with the CH b1,4 example. As long as you spend your tag crash to safely tag in (kinda, if you time it correctly), it wont make that big of a difference compared to T7 combo damage. Only thing I can add, is that because of bound its easier to hit the 50% threshold since you don't have to wall carry to get equivalent damage to T7. BUT, then again.... longer rounds, longer matches = combo damage didn't matter at all almost. So I still think it's a pretty big exaggeration from TMM's part.

100% agreed

how come i watched competetive tt2 and t7 videos, tt2 rounds actually ends faster lol, after being tag juggled enemy is dead i'm just wtf happen and have to turn playback xD.

TMM is a coward

It wasnt, graphics arr trash, broken character and boring gameplay

He actually did

I love this game but I know a lot of people who hated it. It also has the lowest sales so its a fact that people hated this game

Thats a understatement

the customization in tag is utter TRASH. barebones at best. 7 probably isn't even that.

uhh... that's what i said

exactly. that's why it wasn't a complete flop. they got that down but everything else 👎

Yeah it was cool to see how she was updated from TTT1. Would be nuts to see her be included in the three unknown DLC characters for T7

Dillbob1 She was pretty different from Yoshimitsu while still using the same style although you could say she represents the other half of the style that yoshimitsu uses.
